It's VERY addicting when you start, which tapers off a bit after a few weeks, but then i discovered the multiplayer lol, and thats actually really fun. There are LOADS of mods and plugins for servers, so the good servers are basically entire MMORPG games, with stores and designated towns and things, if you become a regular on a server you can create your own town and be mayor and get people to move to your town and build their own houses. You can tax them and things. You make money by mining and selling minerals (each town usually has a mine, but all of this depends on the server and what plugins it has running.) It's still all for it's own sake though, the only thing to do is to keep expanding. There are also RPG singleplayer maps you can download with quests and things. With the right plugins you can basically do whatever you want. I recommend it.

Agreed. If you do get it, consider getting a mod called Single Player Commands. You will not regret it.

Such hostility in the last few posts. It is a fun game but I found it getting rather boring after a while of play. As more and more mods come online it may have some more appeal to me but eh, it something to play when there is nothing else to do.

I recently got Minecraft a few weeks ago. Been playing it ever since with a friend of mine on multiplayer. Its really fun and yes it does get addicting and boring after awhile, but that's just with single player most of the time. I'm always looking for others to game with so if you wanna get gaming just add me to your friends list as ☣ASMD☣ cyberwulf.
